In a statement,, ISESCO Director General Dr Abdulaziz Altwaijri rejected as a sordid and revolting crime the killing of a famed archaeology expert who devoted his life to promoting and protecting Palmyra’s ancient treasures, considering it further proof that the so-called ISIS is but a terror organization departing from the magnanimous precepts of Islam. He also called on the international community to take a firm stand against this terrorist organization that presents an enormous threat to world peace and security. SM/IINA
